Living with War: Twentieth-Century Conflict in Canadian and American History and Memory

‘This scholarly study’s provocative and thoroughly researched arguments are supported by some thousand references, over 500 footnotes, and 44 illustrations that are well integrated into the text.’

B. Osborne, Choice, vol 54:04:2016

"Living with War is a lively read and an easy one…It covers such a broad sweep of history that almost anyone can find something of interest – and something to argue about."

Jonathan F. Vance, University of Western Ontario, University of Toronto Quarterly, vol 87 3, Summer 2018

"Living with War is an exceptionally important book, full of fresh insights into how Canadians and Americans have regarded war and peace for more than a century. Teigrob writes with wit, intelligence, and courage, challenging many of the martial myths and misconceptions that both states have steadfastly nurtured – and which now risk becoming durable elements within state-sponsored civic religions."

Ian McKay, Department of History, Queen's University, and co-author of 'Warrior Nation: Rebranding Canada in an Age of Anxiety'

"With clarity, grace, and unusual nuance, Robert Teigrob unsettles our assumptions, showing why it matters how nations remember their wars."
